This did not occur to you before you got married?

I never sought a wealthy man but I definitely did not date men who were underemployed. I only dated professional men who could support a family. Plus I find educated, successful, responsible men much more attractive.

This. I fessed up about wanting to SAH on about the 3rd date.

Amazing...$450k is not rich, huh?

The skewed reality on this board never ceases to amaze me. $450K might not be private-island rich, but it's literally the top one percent.

TRUTH!

If your husband makes $450K and you aren't rich you are doing something seriously wrong.

It's called humble brag.

In NW DC + private schools with more than 1 kid, that's just getting by or average/below average in those circles.

This isn't Manhattan. You can live in much more affordable neighborhoods and have a lovely home, good schools, and short commute. Excuse you blow your money on a trophy zip code and brand name private doesn't negate the fact you are rich.

Just because you're successful and professional doesn't mean you make bank. What if you work for a non profit or are a teacher?

Some people don't want to live in the suburbs, they want to live in DC. Unfortunately, DCPS arent very good past 5th grade, that's just the reality. So many aren't choosing trophy zipcode for sake of name. Same thing with private school. I would love to send my kids to a DC public school, but private is the better option for us. Yes, compared to you, I'm rich, but that wasn't the point I was making.

If that earlier 450k poster had said she was rich, she would've been inundated with posts saying she wasn't. Sometimes you can't win around here.

450k is what the average American makes per DECADE.

Funny. I told my DH this on our third date and he was relieved because it is what he wanted too. Just be honest from the start! Also +1 on finding educated, successful, responsible men much more attractive. I love a confident man in a suit.
